Teenager under investigation after at-home abortion: ‘It’s still moving’
Live Action News ^ | March 16, 2025 | Cassy Cooke

Authorities are investigating an at-home abortion that led to the potentially-illegal burial of the preborn baby afterwards — potentially, infanticide.

Lancaster Online reported that an East Donegal Township teenager in Pennsylvania ordered abortion pills online, with the help of her mother, after being turned away from a local abortion facility; she then gave birth to the baby, and weeks later, buried the body in her backyard.

The initial abortion was committed last year, but police are investigating now; what tipped them off to the incident is not known, but a search warrant was filed on March 6th, and the baby’s body was found by Susquehanna Regional Police two days later.

A witness communicated with police about the abortion, saying they were there when the teenaged girl took an initial pregnancy test. Later, after obtaining abortion pills, the witness began receiving text messages about the abortion. Court records said the teenager sent texts to the witness like, “It just now came out,” and “it’s like a full baby,” and “it’s still moving.” Pictures of the baby’s genitals sent to the witness revealed she had given birth to a girl; in those messages, the teenager wrote, “excuse my blood everywhere.”

She further told the witness that she was afraid to touch the baby, because she was still making occasional movements. When the witness asked if the baby was still alive, the teenager responded, “no, cause its lungs aren’t developed.” She said the movements were just reflexes as opposed to meaningful movement, and later said she kept the baby’s body in a box underneath her bed for several weeks before eventually burying the baby girl.

While the lungs are not fully developed until late in the third trimester, the lungs actually begin to grow and form at just four weeks gestation. By 15 weeks, major parts of the airway are in place, and breathing activity is not only present between 18 and 20 weeks, but follows a circadian rhythm.

Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Steven Diamontoni confirmed that the baby had died; while he did not disclose the child’s estimated gestational age, he did say the baby was pre-viability, and could not have survived outside of the womb.

Knowing she was able to tell the baby was a girl means the child was past 10 weeks gestation. Diamontoni also said that, due to decomposition, he would not be able to tell if the baby girl took a breath before dying. While viability is often said to be 24 weeks gestation, babies have survived at much younger ages — as young as 21 weeks.

So far, it is not known if any charges will be filed against the teenager.

Demonic is the only word fitting. Evil is real, and surrounds us. May God have mercy.

A real abortionist would have received a healthy payment. She did it for free. What’s the dif? I mean, really? One gets paid, the other gets penalized.

This is awful, but the clinics do this hundreds of times a day. What is she in trouble for? Practicing medicine without a license?

You know when they started handing out abortion pills like Pez they never imagined dead babies popping out all over the place and what to do with them when it happened.

NOW DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS SO AGAINST THE ABORTION PILL?

I will be posting more stories like this in the future. You know this is going to happen more often.

It’s now coming to light. People are seeing it for the first time. People are seeing that pro lifers like Morgana here have been telling the truth all along.

In the clinic it’s “hush hush”. Now it’s in your neighbor’s back yard. Now you get to see it first hand. If you see this happened break your your cell phones and record and post it to the net. Let the world see it.

God have mercy! Pure evil and tragedy. How did America get to this? Obviously, that’s rhetorical. What could possibly go wrong shipping baby killing pills through the mail? The Republicans never put up a fight because they want the women vote that they’ll never get anyway while losing “pro-life” women. In a perfect answer, the Constitution protects the unborn life begins at conception.

The number of our murdered children is off the charts, only God knows, but he counted the hairs on each head.

The number of children sexually destroyed either through mutilation or chemical castration is off the charts as well. I’m starting to see a pattern here. God commanded us to be fruitful and multiply. Satan has been doing all he can to see that there will be none of us left.

Dude I’ve been posting about this. Women are ordering them online. Some from other states, some from out of the country.

Women are taking them past the term limit too. They risk their lives by doubling up on the pills, that is how desperate they are to abort.

This is why Texas and one other state is suing New York for sending abortion pills to their state. Some states have outlawed abortion pills. So the women just try to order them from states where they are legal and have them sent in.

What is the difference if one has a medical license and is paid, versus an unpaid unlicensed mother? Answer: NONE! It’s the mother’s choice whether the baby dies. If it’s fine for the mother to choose someone else to kill her child, why can’t she do it herself if she wants to? Death is death. Dead is dead. Killed is killed. Murder is murder. I know what the answer is, but it takes a liberal mind to not see the similarity here.

It should be murder or mishandling or abusing a corpse.
It is also illegal disposal of “medical waste”

I do NOT think it’s waste I think it’s a poor dead baby’s body’s, however if an abortuary disposed of bodies by burying them in the backyard they would be charged for improper disposal of medical waste.

("For what does it profit a man who shall gain the whole world, and to lose his own soul?")

DEMOCRAT Cecile Richards had a Lamborghini. And a DEMOCRAT Joe Biden pResidential Medal of Freedom...

(Abortion)

Democrat Joe Biden gave a medal 🥇 of freedom
to Cecile Richards in 2024, who made her money
terminating the lives of other human beings.

How very Democrat of them.
